Reno
Reno, Nevada is known as “The Biggest Little City in the World” and has evolved well beyond its casino roots. Today, it’s a city where vintage neon signs share the skyline with vibrant murals and historic train depots sit beside riverside coffee shops. The Truckee River runs through downtown, anchoring the city with a scenic Riverwalk lined with public art, restaurants, and the sounds of rushing water. Just steps away, the Reno Arch still glows with retro flair, marking the city’s long-standing role as an entertainment destination.
Culture thrives in Reno in ways many visitors don’t expect. The Nevada Museum of Art, the state’s only accredited art museum, combines regional history with bold contemporary exhibitions. A few blocks away, the National Automobile Museum houses over 200 rare and vintage cars, including celebrity-owned models and one-of-a-kind prototypes. Reno also embraces the spirit of Burning Man year-round. Art pieces from the famed desert event can be found in places like City Plaza, where the massive “Believe” sculpture has become a popular photo spot.
